But now the symptoms have been worse and different from I used to have before. I feel weakness/numb feeling in hands 🤦😌feet,legs,arms, sometimes in the face and toungue as well. I feel.too right in my throat that it makes me feel.like I'm choking or my throat is full all the time. Also it induces some difficulty breathing and stuffy nose with eatery mucus.it feels like when I swallow I can't swallow the whole the whole lump down

I'm very anxious about it. And I feel very uneasy. It worked up me I'm the middle of night choking and grasping of air

Please reassure that this is anxiety as I fear that something something dangerous or fatal disease I have caught

    Not quite sure why this is in Ankle Problems, but here we go:

    Of course IANAD, but this sounds a lot like my university experience. Especially around exam season. The stress + already being anxious makes you even more anxious, which makes you think about it more, which increases the anxiety. Meditation and Yoga helped me personally. Exercise in general has been great. Also try and get some rest / sleep.

    I hope you feel better soon

    Palakkalsi,

    You may need to visit your primary doctor and have some blood work done. With that said, anxiety is real and some people need medicine to keep it under control. You're too young to let this make you sick. 

    Good luck !
